Nicola Lynch - Independent Social Value Consultant & Impact Management Specialist

March 28, 2024 • Samtaler • Season 3 • Episode 3

In this episode, Sarah interviews Nicola Lynch, a Level Three Advanced Practitioner in Social Value.

Nicola is a Social Impact and Evaluation specialist and is one of only a handful of accredited Social Value & SROI trainers in the UK.

We’re going to take you on a journey that will really make you think about your own understanding of social value, how we measure social value, and the implications that has. We’ll cover the difference between inputs, outputs, outcomes, impact, and value.

Nicola will explain the theory of change and how that differs from a logic model, and we’ll also dive a little bit into digital tools, how they work, and the most important thing to remember when using them.
